I'm a real bonafide Detective. Yakuza, Ace Attorney, S&M, Persona, FF and the like. I'm here to live my most decent life.
Movie: The Thing

Holy shit the gore. Intensely good great thrilling chilling fulfilling and every other positive adjective you could throw its way. Perfect right up to the end.

The Norwegians will get it right someday.

Movie: The Big Lebowski

Easily my favorite Coen Brothers movie I’ve seen. So smoothly absurd and just a damn good time all around. Loved it, already want to rewatch it, and most of all, I understand now.

Game: Crow Country

Really just a beautiful fusion of classic and modern design here, in all senses of the word. Survival horror that easily stands on its own, with all of its own unique quirks and polishes. The only stumble was enemy intros, but it doesn’t hold me back from loving this short romp.

Game: RE8: Shadows of Rose

Pretty great little dlc here! Capitalizing on all the undying love from Ethan in the main campaign, Rose has stuff to do (mainly fun bite-r sized horror scenarios, best still being dollhouse). Good :)

Game: Viewfinder

Really cool perspective puzzle game here! Just the right difficulty for me for a portal-y game. I appreciate the narrative existing, but its both underbaked and ultimately doesn't really say anything, it's a bit odd. The cat (Cait) was cute though, Im grateful for that little guy

Game: I Am Your Beast:

A frantic dash to kill em all dead. Incredibly slick in a way that mirrors Neon White. I think the game is written well, but I’m not really a fan of how this military powerfantasy is portrayed as super badass with “fill in your blank” grievances against the US government.

Game: OFF Remake

It goes the fuck OFF!!! The music goes the fuck OFF!!! You’re OFF your rocker if you think this is a bad remaster. But genuinely, great game made better by slick combat UI, amazing replacement music, and fun extra bosses.

Im on a sacred mission to tell you to get OFF.

TV: The Bear S3

A good collection of great episodes of TV. I however really struggle to call this a season of television. Many balls set up in the air, only to have it end very abruptly with an uncomfortable (uncomfy *can* be good) final episode without any emotional catharsis or payoff.

TV: Ironheart

This was good show even if not super memorable. I quite liked how flawed Riri is here, but Im kinda left scratching my head when it comes to capitalizing on those flaws on either growth or good emotional payoff. Ssscool

TV: Mr Robot S4

Exceptional finale to an exceptional show. Everything really ended out here in a way I loved, with characters’ traumas and pains being handled with proper respect. Ngl if I were there though therapy would have gone WAY differently just saying

Game: Armored Core Master of Arena

Im gonna be real its very hard to remember what I liked about this game, because its been a month+ and also its just not that different than the first two. Armored Core 1 but we made it the goodest.

TV: Loki (S2)

Gooooooooood stuff! Tom Hiddleston could entertain me any way any how, and Key Quan was a lot of fun here too. No complex thoughts, but I really liked how this wraps up Loki as a character.

Movie: Fantastic Four

I’ve really enjoyed my jump back into the MCU, and this one was especially relaxing! My standards may be low here but I really appreciate how little action there is here. I liked this more than supes when I first watched, but it hasnt quite stuck with me.

Movie: Superman (2025)

Really loved the chemistry between Lois and Superman and just the whole world in general. I think James Gun-isms are becoming too visible to me, but heart is still heart. Really fun time though, Im coming back to this more than I thought.

Movie: The Naked Gun (2025)

It made me very happy to let go and enjoy a dumb little comedy like this. Harnesses the spirit of the original without relying on callbacks, Neeson does a great job with deadpan comedy, and there’s plenty of good jokes to go around. It aint perfect, but who cares?

Movie: Rushmore

This may be a surprise favorite. Flailing around for purpose and meaning after loss and being a real piece of work (and freak) in the process. Loved it! Max is absolutely a freak of the highest calibre though please get a therapist dude.

Movie: Bottle Rocket

Im starting to see that all Wes Anderson movies have a romance plot of some kind. Not sure how Im only noticing this now. Incredibly charming and fun film where the stakes feel fantastically innocent

TV: Mr. Robot S3

The universe is not kind. The universe not being kind also makes for great television, so that part of it kinda rocks. Extremely kickass season with a lot of truly amazing episodes, more people need to talk about this show.

TV: Dandadan Evil Eye

Follows up the abrupt ending of season 1 with an equally abrupt and awful cutoff right as a fight is nearing its climax. It’s only fitting really. Damn there’s some really great direction here though, it’s an excellent adaptation and season 2 will be absolutely baller.

TV: Mr Robot S2

A smart follow up to an already tightly crafted story, which does good by itself by not trying to immediately one-up itself in an overly grandiose way. Laying the groundwork for future seasons has never been this entertaining and fast paced. Remember to clean your knives after use.

Movie: Sinners

Every frame was dripping (including me!)

Lovely time here with some great performances that was just a tad overhyped with promises of an action-filled climax. It just wrapped up rather quickly for my taste. Going to have to rewatch it soon since I viewed it with a massive headache.

Game: Armored Core Project Phantasma

A neat follow up to Armored Core with a bit more to chew on narratively(?). Sadly it ends right when it starts to pick up, and the levels are not nearly as good for the most part. Still pretty fun tho!

Microsoft charging $80 for a game that parodies and criticizes capitalism and greedy executives is so ridiculously tone-deaf I'd call it unrealistic if someone wrote it.
